Del'Aziz - Bermondsey in Southwark

This is local to me and I've been visiting for 4 years. I agree the menu is a little confused but it always is well presented and tastes delicious. I'm so sad the amazing cakes are no longer available. They stopped last year I believe. The replacement ones are unfortunately not nearly as wonderful. The staff are usually rally friendly and helpful. I've had one very poor experience with a female staff member being off with my tiny dog but every other time the staff have been lovely and give water and sometimes even treats. Such a great experience! I suspect the rude waitress was just having a bad day so it won't put me off going again :)

It was closed down!! Booked the night before, clearly restaurant was planned to close and move!!!! Very annoying!

Del Aziz solía ser mi "tome amigos y visitantes aquí". Gran ambiente garantizado, magnífica comida, personal amable, unas impresionantes vistas de las ruinas de la abadía.

Rather disappointing visit to what was once one of my favourite Bermondsey places. I found the current dinner menu to be surprisingly limited and few Mediterranean dishes on it. Service was hit and miss; my friend and I had the disconcerting experience of having the cutlery we used for our appetisers slid off the plates onto the table for our re-use. We did ask for an received clean cutlery but this was a big RED FLAG! We asked for our bill at the end of the meal 3XT and waited a good 30 minutes before it came and the place was nearly empty given the lateness of the hour. I will not be returning.

Nous avons eu malheureusement une très mauvaise expérience dans ce restaurant, dommage car la cuisine est vraiment très bonne

Eso es verdad. No está mal, pero no era nada especial. La langosta estaba bien, merguez salchichas bastante agradable - bill vino a mucho más de lo que esperábamos. Tomó un largo tiempo para conseguir sirve, bien, pero no prisa por regresar.

Las instalaciones de del 'Aziz y el menú es un poco confuso. Parece que todavía no ha decidido si debe ser un restaurante marroquí, o un establecimiento inglés por excelencia. Hay pruebas de ambos lados y la sensación es que todo es un poco confuso.

Muy rico. La sopa del día increíble, y el pato confitado fue un placer. Ribey Steak muy bueno. Lo disfrutamos mucho.

Fuimos a cenar en 16 de septiembre y la comida era estupenda, la langosta y el personal era hamburguesa realmente buena servicial y amable. Desde entonces vamos jamás semana para tomar una bebida o comida o

Fuimos para la oferta de langosta. Estaba buenísimo. El servicio estaba muy bien, aunque la camarera estaba haciendo limpieza por nosotros porque no estaba lleno! ! !

Great chicken tagine with preserved lemons and olives. Very attentive service and great NZ wines. Highly recommend.

Que son locales, y han estado aquí varias veces con amigos. No puedo creer que algunas de las críticas badish. El servicio es siempre rápido, amable y muy agradable. Todos nuestros amigos han quedado impresionados. . . . Los cócteles son uno de los mejores de la ciudad. Prueba el Espresso Martini o condimentadas Mojito.

Estuvimos cerca, y el aspecto de este restaurante era buena. El camarero que nos servía era simpático, así como los otros. Las tartas de aspecto adorable en pantalla. Eso es lo que los dos puntos son para. El ambiente y la decoración era agradable.

I attended this for lunch. They provide a great setting that's a little different and in keeping with a Moroccan style. The menu is a set menu and provided ample for lunch. Food the service and the setting or just perfect. It was in the air againI would happily visit.I have also uses venue for lunch and had takeaways. It's a great coffee and pastries and have some exquisite cakes

I popped in here with friends for an weekend afternoon coffee, but unfortunately don't think I will be returning. Our waiter seemed completely bemused by all of our orders (if you'd told me he was stoned, I would have believed you) and the service was slow. The Turkish coffee tasted burnt so I opted for a cappuccino - which arrived as a white Americano (and the waiter had spilt half of it on his tray on the way over). My friend ordered eggs from the all-day breakfast menu (side-note: really expensive!! 6 quid for muesli?) but the wait staff obviously didn't pass on her request for the meal to be lactose free as it made her quite ill. Overall there are much nicer places in Bermondsey, and for the prices (and the included service charge) I would expect better service and higher quality coffee!

For months on end I've walked past this place and thought I should go in and try out their Lobster offer, with many other London eateries offering it and all generally being quite good, I thought it would be worth a go.As I can see from previous reviews - I'm not the first to be struck by poor service. After ordering our food (and being placed the opposite side from everyone else), after completion it took nearly 20 minutes for anyone to even notice we were still there! We then had to spell out that we wanted to pay and leave.On the food front - the lobster was overcooked, and the general consensus of the food was that it was particularly average. With so many restaurants nearby on Bermondsey Street offering some absolutely stunning eating, I'm surprised by the lack of quality.To add to it - there was a bizarre moment of a couple coming in and sitting on the sofa's next to our food, and getting what can only be described as a little too fruity with each other, resulting in the need to cover their nether regions up with a jacket, I can only presume because of the temperature.

Second visit to this little restaurant in the heart of Bermondsey, unfortunately it will be the last. Service was slow and generally poor, in fact some of my main ended up on my lap! The food was distinctly average and thus overpriced. I ordered lobster, the meat was nice, because frankly it's a struggle to go wrong with it, however unfortunately a Colander would have come in handy for the excess fluid. Perhaps the simplest bit of the dish, the chips/fries (depending on where you're from :)) were somewhat salty, if I didn't have high blood pressure before, a few of those chips and I almost certainly do now!

I've eaten many times at Del Aziz and enjoyed the food and friendly staff. Not sure if there's been a change of management but the service has become awful. We ate on a Thursday night when it was only half full and had to ask for menus after having sat there unattended for 25 minutes while the waiters were chatting and laughing, just standing around. We then had to point to what we wanted on the menu because the waiter hadn't familiarized himself with the menu at all so when we said it aloud he just stared confused. The food was great but we then had to ask AGAIN for a menu to order dessert - and were brought the bill instead. So we asked for dessert menus again and mine arrived with a long dark hair strung across my Eton Mess. Mess indeed. All up this made for a disappointing experience across the board. Hopefully new staff are just settling in and this is temporary as this place has been fantastic in the past.

This was a trailblazer that stole a march on everyone else when it opened; cool bar, super deli lifestyle restaurant and great staff. After loosing its way it went through a revamp - woeful design poorly conceived and executed. It has now lost its way completely; characterless - confused offering. The only saving grace is the staff.

We were all agreed that the food was bland and regretted not going elsewhere. My son offered me a piece of his chicken shish to try, as he didn't like it, and I'm sorry to say that I found it dry and tasteless. Having said that, we did like the staff.

We hebben hier een avond op het terras doorgebracht. Het was heerlijk weer en de goede wijn en lekker mezzes waren erg welkom. Ik ben niet binnen geweest, dus ik kan niet veel zeggen over de sfeer daar, maar op het terras werden we goed bediend.

After a positive experience some time back we decided to visit Del'Aziz again. We had meze, cocktails and cakes with coffee. No complaints - you get what you pay for. However, after a change of the supplier of cakes we were disappointed. They tasted very average and could get similar ones from any supermarket. Service was good.

This is a really funny restaurant and I need to be careful about what I'm saying here. After all I'm a regular there. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a love hate relationship, because I don't feel passionate enough about it. Location is great, in general the staff is friendly and more often that not the food is quite alright. But then are these other times. To start with, they offer juices on their menu, but can't order them for the last two months now. How difficult is it to print a new menu, for gods sake? Then they seem to have a very high turn over of chefs. Sometimes, brunch is amazing, sometimes inedible. Sometimes service is friendly and quick, other times you pull your hair. What is it with this place? Anyway, I'm sure to be back, but would just like to do it with less remorse. Whoever owns this, please hire a manager who knows what they're doing!

Menu was simple and short in selections. Not sure what cuisine it was meant to represent. However, food was good but had hoped for better. Great deal on cocktails (241).

My partner and I visited one Sunday afternoon when it wasn't very busy. We were warmly welcomed by a lady who promptly took our orders. I ordered a soft drink, steak (medium) and chips, my partner ordered the burger. We were given the tap water we'd asked for, but the soft drink was forgotten. Then we waited so long for the food to be brought out, we nearly gave up. .The steak was well overdone, pretty much charred. I've sent food back before at Del Aziz when I was given the wrong order and had to wait an age for the new meal to come out so just tried to eat it. I asked the male waiter that brought the food out for some mayo, he told me they didn't have any. My partner opened up his burger, and it in it was mayo... I went to find the lady that took the order and asked her for mayo. They did have mayo. Del Aziz has such a lovely location and it's great to sit outside. But the mistakes and slowness are far too frequent so I won't be going again.

I enjoyed the food I shared vegetarian mezze and I lived with a Lebanese person for several years and only ate fresh lebanese food and yet I was pretty impressed by the quality. The alcohol was pretty expensive, and personally I did not enjoy the belly dancer but I guess it's only ever men who do like such things ; ) I would go back, though the service was slow.

I've been to Del'Aziz for breakfast several times and each time I've had the 'home made granola' and then eggs on granary toast. However, something has happened since my last visit 5 months ago. This morning the granola was obviously not home-made and tasted really cheap. It arrived without any honey so I had to get it from the counter. You get a scoop of Greek yoghurt but nothing special there. The poached eggs arrived with cheap brown sliced bread. Presentation was very nice but the taste was very "meh". I've never loved the coffee here, it tastes like it comes from the coffee machines you get in the office. The restaurant itself looks great and this morning the waitresses were very friendly. Interestingly they never asked us what we thought of our meal... suggests to me they haven't been getting great feedback.It's a shame and I usually give places a second chance but I won't with Del'Aziz as there are lots of other better places for breakfast in and around Bermondsey Street. Breakfast for two cost us £28 including service. I could have easily made this at home for about a fiver.

The place looks attractive and inviting. The staff, smiling and very nice. Papillae get into happy motion when expecting a mezze platterBut what a disappointment when the platter comes to the table. And it gets worse when you taste the different mashes and creamy stuffs. You wish you had had picnic across the street with M&S food!

The only thing that was impressive in this restaurant was the interior! Lovely traditional Moroccan decor, so was very impressed upon arrival. First impressions were fab. THEN.. we ordered food. Starters took 45 minutes to arrive, the restaurant was practically empty as it was a Sunday afternoon so there was no excuse for slow service. I don't know wether they run on Sunday service, but everything just took ages to arrive to the table. Even the drinks were perched on the bar for over 10 minutes and were not brought over (my friend and I actually had to go and get them ourselves in the end). Food came starters were nice, not amazing. But we were in good spirits for the main. 3 out of 4 of us got the lobster burger, when it eventually arrived after another 45 minutes of waiting, the presentation was satisfactory. However the taste was far from lobster I had had anywhere else and just was generally tough and chewy, the chips that accompanied were either frozen or tasted like they were which is just as bad. My friend remaining ordered the chicken burger, this came and was burnt to a crisp,no much so she actually sent it back and didn't order anything else as we had such a bad experience she didn't want to take the risk. On top of that, no apology was offered, in fact quite a frosty approach from the waiter about the situation which rubbed salt in the wound. One positive I can advise is the cocktails! Was happy hour so good price and absolutely lovely! Would definitely not eat here again, however, if we are ever welcome back I would come for cheap cocktails :P

So, service is a little casual, the staff have that "whatever" approach.We ordered some Negroni's before our food, well, 20 minutes later halfway through our starter they arrived. The waiter told us the bartender was very busy. We were two of a dozen people in at the time. The waiter did inform us three times that it wasn't his fault though, always unhelpful to know. The starter though, the meat mezze, was spectacular.We both ordered the £20 lobster for a main course. I appreciate it will be small for that price, but it was shockingly bad. Twice cooked lobster.....?? Cooked so much the shell had softened and shattered. Of course, we weren't asked if everything was OK. The couple on the table next to us complained their chicken wasn't cooked, to the response, sometimes chef cooks it a little rare....??The decor is wonderful, the traditional food is spectacular, the service is poor and the promotional product is awful. Give it a go, order traditional but don't expect value for money.

Unfamiliar atmosphere, unusual fare, beautifully cooked. In an area where restaurants come and go it was a happy return for us to Del Aziz.

I had lunch in this place with colleagues. I ordered the lunch menu, some of us had burgers. We waited long for the starters, and even longer for the mains. When it arrived, food was OK. My colleague liked his soup very much, I had squid fritters and goat cheese with peppers, they were OK, nothing special. The price is reasonable. We got 20% discount in the end because of the waiting time of the burgers, which was nice. But it took about 80 minutes to have lunch which is a lot.

I went to Del'Aziz a couple of times already because a friend lives 2 min away and likes the place. They sell Moroccan food and staff members a re nice and the rest rooms are clean.They offer shishas there and if you want to smoke outside you have seats, tables and blankets as well (for a small group only as it is on the street side). They offer a big range of cakes and the pieces are huge. Even if you don't have the time to have dinner, grab a cake to go :D

A little gem in an area lacking good lunch venuesMoroccan themed venue serving good food. The food served is refreshing. The setting is themed and different,Good breakfast options offered, a little bit more than the local cafeCakes, they have plenty snd they are divine

Del'Aziz-Bermondsey is the best restaurant with an amazing staff! We had amazing cocktails and food. Elena Is the most amazing manager and Mantas is the best costumer servant. Chaka is the best mixologist. If you are near Bermondsey square go here !!!!

We had lunch at Del Aziz. Food is from various places in middle east. This place is pricy though

The service is a bit hit & miss but the staff are usually pleasant when you point out that the have messed up your order. It has been refitted within the last year but failed to tell people that had booked they were closing for a refit. It is the best restaurant in that area but it could be so much better!

I've been to Del'Aziz twice before. This visit was absolutely horrendous. The service was comical. Our waitress and waiter couldn't answer any questions about the drinks menu or the food. Neither spoke enough English to understand what we were asking and both claimed that being new to the restaurant was why they didn't know any thing. We ordered Calamari and it was served over cooked with what could only be described as rabbit droppings. After asking the waiter to find out what they were supposed to be he came back to explain they were deep friend mussles. They were the single most disgusting thing I have ever tasted in a restaurant. Even though we were clear in our shock at how bad the food was and repeated requests to ask if the chef meant to serve something so awful the waiter came back to say he had, and they were "fine" in the chefs opinion. To make matters worse the main then arrived after a long wait, the two chicken dishes were served to the table cold with clearly microwaved rice. We sent the mains back, cancelled the orders and left. Again the restaurant offered no apology or reason. It's so dissapointing that a local restaurant which could serve decent nice food would let that type of food leave the kitchen. I'm a home cook and would be embarrassed to serve anything like that, I'd also expect better food from my local 24hr kebab house.Don't visit or waste your money here.

Happy hour cocktails: this is the place to be!Staff are friendly and thoughtful - bar manager Tschaka Prescod seems to know how to develop a happy and customer-focussed team. Bar was understaffed so it took ages to get drinks, but as an apology they let us have our last round at happy hour prices (even though happy hour had ended) - which was fine with us.On a number of occasions, I've asked permission to take a visitor into the bar area so we can view the ruins of the medieval abbey visible under the floor. The staff have always said yes and welcomed us, even when we've made it clear we're not staying to buy anything.Clean and intriguing atmosphere, ice people.

Abbiamo pranzato in questo locale il primo giorno che siamo arrivati a Londra in quanto vicino al ns hotel. Tutto sommato abbiamo mangiato bene e il personale è stato gentile. Inoltre il locale è carino e ben arredato.Abbiamo deciso di tornare per una cena ma direi che è stato deludente. Personale non particolarmente educato e cibo di media qualità.Un unico aspetto positivo un giovane italiano che lavora nel locale che ci ha persino regalato delle brioche.

We've been on Friday evening, had a pleasant surprise. A waiter was really nice and recommended us some cocktails, which were really memorable. Lobster burger was really tasty as I never had tried it before. Very pleasant trip ! Definitely coming back !

Our group had participants in the London Marathon and this was a convenient spot to refuel midway through the frankly arduous job of supporting them. The choice of dishes was good , the food was excellent , the service friendly and efficient. It is a relaxed place to revive oneself.

Nice and easy serving. Lamb on rice with only few vegetables. Served with a smile, close to closingtime. Nice, but small selection of wine. Had a glass of boring macabeo from Spain, served in a glass from the past century. Medium price level

Was money's worth, £20 for half a lobster and 3 gambas plus coleslaw, bowl of chips and a bit of watercress! Liked the gambas, were slightly spicy

Attended today with friends after stumbling across this restaurant whilst visiting the antique market on the square.Had great cocktails and the lobster meal deal which was great value for money. The dish tasted great too both the lobster and ribs were cooked to perfection. Relaxed atmosphere, Well done and thank you for for excellent service provided by staff. Will definitely visit again .

My first visit here and had a lovely time. Food was delicious and the service was very good too. The atmosphere was really nice and staff were friendly. Will be back again.

Went for drinks and was very pleasantly surprised. Very comfortable plus surroundings and best cocktails we've had in a very long time. The barman was great and those shots were mind blowing. Had food too which wasn't that great burgers a bit dry so would prob stick to drinks next time

Been here quite a few times and every single time the service is so so slow! You have to remind the staff lots of times to get you your drinks and then the food menu. Then you're checking on your good after 30 -40 minutes. The food itself is pretty good and the tap water comes with mint leaves which is a lovely touch. Just don't go if you're in a rush or don't have half an afternoon for lunch.

I checked out the menu of Del Aziz before I booked, and thought that it looked more interesting that the usual Moroccan food. However, the actual menu didn't seem to have anything other than the standard Moroccan fayre. We weren't that impressed with the food, for example Gambas with garlic and coriander didn't taste of much except prawns, not much evidence of garlic or coriander. It was OK but I wouldn't go there again.

Popped in after seeing the Lobster feast special and was pleasantly surprised.Great service, great atmosphere with the option of shisha, excellent food and some of the best chips I have had in ages. Tasty, well cooked and well presented food.They have their own bakery on site with a great selection of cakes etc that can be selected and served with great ice cream as well as being hot if you wish.Great restaurant!

Living nearby, I have been to Del Aziz several times over the years. My visits have been few and far between thought - every time I hope they have changed for the better... and they haven't. It's really a shame because they have a good concept, a nice space...but the cuisine is just terrible. The problem here is BLANDNESS. Now I can understand that some restaurants practice a middle-of-the-road, safe style of cooking designed to please everyone. The issue is that if your concept is "North African cuisine", which is all about spices and strong flavours, well...you just can't get away with that.My girlfriend and I had the chicken tagine and the lamb tagine respectively. Both were painfully tasteless. We had a side of merguez, and that too had no taste - not even a hint of spiciness! No amount of salt or pepper would improve things, so we asked for some harissa. And, wait for it...even the harissa was bland! (how do you even do that??). As we were about to leave distinctly unsatisfied with our meal, a mouse ran out of the kitchen and through the dining room. Ouch! not a good sign. Hopefully this time, after giving Del Aziz the benefit of doubt ten times,we have learnt our lesson and will just cross the place off for good.

On Thursday evening after work, some friends and I made our way to Del'Aziz for cocktails. We arrived at around 9.30 and were met by Tschaka, the bar tender/mixologist, he asked us all what our favourite cocktail was and for our permission to make them, but with a twist. I said my favourite was a Margarita and received exactly that but blue - it was delicious! My friend preferred an Old Fashioned, and received an apple pie Old Fashioned, which even I loved (and I'm not a whisky gal!).Secondly he asked us to give him a spirit we didn't like and he'd make us a cocktail we'd love, I said Jagermeister. I cannot tell how AMAZING the jagermeister cocktail was, he'd mixed it with blueberries, bubblegum and other magical ingredients to come up with something that should have tasted horrific, but instead was light and refreshing. Finally, he told us to give him a memory of a place and he'd recreate that memory and emotion. I picked San Fransisco's Golden Gate Bridge, the last time my friends and I were all together. I described how when we began walking it was misty and cold but as we got to the middle it cleared and became hot and sunny. He brought me a short red cocktail, the top crushed ice and the bottom completely clear. I then took a sip and it was icy cold, slightly metallic (like the bridge) but as I swallowed it suddenly had a kick of tabasco, heating up my tongue and mouth. He'd nailed my memory perfectly, what a man!He did this for all four of us and each one of us left this place so fascinated, so happy and probably a little drunk too! All the detail and thought he'd put into our cocktails came through and if you ever get the chance to go and do the same - I would highly recommend it. Yes the location is a little out of the way, but when you get to experience something like this you'll questions why you didn't go sooner.Thank you for an amazing night, we'll be back again to try the rest of the menu!

Visited on a recent trip to London. ..very nice interior, friendly and welcoming staff..the atmosphere was a pleasant one. We ad the steak and it was perfect..would definitely recommend.

Visited a few times last year. Lots of different homemade choices, breakfast, brunch and they have a little restaurant as well if you preferrer something more formal. Good coffee, fresh juices and pastries and mediterranean decoration. Prices are a little bit up but under stable as the location is very central in London for a fresh food restaurant.

Breakfast was great, went back in the evening for a martini and the manager made some amazing cocktails, right down to flaming the orange peel to give the cosmopolitan a smoky flavor. Brilliant

Great Mediterranean food and an absolutely spectacular environment complete with deep, rich fabrics and colours (and live music on the weekends). The front of the house looks a bit like an upscale deli, where you can pick from any manner of insanely beautiful baked goods, pastries, quiches, and other delights to eat there or take away. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all fantastic food-wise. The only downside of this restaurant is the service. You may find yourself waiting for ages for anyone to acknowledge you're there. And the service throughout your meal will be slow and unengaged. This never changed in all the times I went there (which was often since I lived around the corner), and I grew so weary of it I stopped going. That aside, it's a great place to go with friends or even for business lunches/dinners. The decor will leave you feeling like you've left the country.

Brilliant for brunch, great merge of med and British food. And if you haven't tried the frying pan yet you are missing out, highly recommended.

Nice clean inviting restaurant. Price was very reasonable and the service was excellent. Full breakfast was a great meal to have after a long night of partying. Defiantly worth visiting again.

On one side of Del’Aziz you have a nicely decked out restaurant area that looks like you have chucked a left at the souk and come upon a tranquil place of Eastern Promise, full of rich, dark hues of red, purple, aquamarine and brown. On the other side of a partition is the raised lounge bar with customers chattering away over a variety of drinks; round the corner is the shop and deli offering tagine pots, ceramics, oils, herbs and spices, and beyond that the wine bar section.My partner had plumped for the Saffron Braised Octopus to open proceedings with, and, I quickly followed her with Seared Tuna with Cumin and Coriander and, going with the waiter’s suggestion, a bottle of Bergerie de la Bastide, a sharp, fruity red from the Languedoc region that was a fine addition to every dish of the evening.The octopus arrived looking so fresh I wondered why it hadn’t made its own way to the table. My tuna was truly scrumptious, seared quickly and just enough to keep the inside pink, tender and meaty. The flavours of the herbs and spices that emanated from the accompanying salad were absolutely wonderful.And so to the main course. My fish favouring friend had chosen the Spiced Loin of Tuna atop a Pearl Barley setting, which she told me was divine, especially the Sumac and Pomegranate dressing it was paired with. I had the Lamb Tagine that, I’m sad to say did not reach my expectations. There were no subtle aromas coming from the pot, the vegetables all tasted like each other, and even the lamb - as tender and plentiful as it was – seemed bland. I nearly shouted ‘Hallelujah’ when I finally found something with flavour as I bit into a cardamom pod. The dessert menu is a short unassuming affair that says very little to get you excited, but then the waiter invites you to join him on a walk round to the deli to see the cakes that are all made by their bakers. Trust me, my mouth dropped open and probably dribbled a little as well. In the end we shared the Baklava, an attractive selection of Middle Eastern pastries that became the ideal finale of a fine feast. Notwithstanding a tagine that was fine but not to my personal taste, our Del’Aziz experience was a success and one that we will be repeating some time soon.

Great juice bar with fresh pastry/bakery items and panini's. Dinner Menu looked good too but didnt have a chance to try.

I always come here on Sundays and everything that I eat is great, and very well served. Staff are friendly and fast. Really recommend this place for a lunch or brunch, the mushroom risotto and omelette are my favorites.

Missed lunch and wanting an early dinner we found our apartment in Bermondsey Street and on the recommendation from the service desk we wandered up to Bermondsey Square.We were well greeted and well treated at Del'Aziz for this so-called 'Linner'!We had an array from the menu and all were satiated. I tossed between the wild mushroom risotto or the chicken shish! The waiter recommended the shish and I wasn't disappointed! The burgers looked good and those who ordered them didn't complain.

Precioso restaurante marroquí que descubrimos en Londres Me encantó su cous-cous, hummus, y tapas variadas...un sitio elegante pero no por ello caro, todo lo contrario. El trato del encargado simplemente impecable.

I was in London working for Crisis and visited Del Aziz for a hearty breakfast before my shift! The best ingredients are used and freshly cooked to order, absolutely divine! My only complaint- I couldnt eat it all! Must get to visit for a dinner one of these days!

We went on a Monday to try the tagine as there was a promotion on them. The good news is that the food was excellent. Unfortunately the whole experience was ruined by a mistake by the staff. When we ordered we made it clear that we wanted the tagine because of the offer. We were then offered happy hour cocktails at 2 for 1 so thought 'why not?'When the time came for the bill, the very apologetic waiter explained that he was new and had made a mistake and that offers could not be combined. When I asked to clarify with the manager, rather than acknowledging their error in suggesting the cocktails (which we wouldn't have gone with) we had to fight for the correction. I understand that mistakes happen, but surely you just put something on the menu stating that offers can not be used together; but you don't expect the customer to pay for your mistakes. This really put a dampener on the evening and so my girlfriend is not keen on us going back.

We have recently had our Christmas Party at Del Aziz (for the second year running!) and we could not have asked for more. Whatever we wanted, the manager and her team accomodated. They are very easy to deal with both before and on the night of the party. The whole team are friendly and fun and approach everything with a smile. Nothing is too much trouble.

I took my brother here on his first ever trip to London as I know the food is good and not expensive. He was suitably impressed by the whole experience of the visit there,

Lamb shoulder was cooked a few days before and then served cold... not acceptable when meal was 45+. Staff jaded and don't care, recommend to avoid.

This is an affordable restaurant were you can find international and common dishes with a subtle relief of Moroccan / Turkish / Mediterranean food.Probably the main thing to highlight would be the magnificent cakes (home-made) that these guys prepare. It´s extremely hard to choose one since all of them look so tempting. The coffe is also worth trying. The restaurant is good for any kind of event: afternoon tea, breakfast, evening drinks (with an allocated drink area). Good experience for a reasonable price.

We love to go after work to have some cakes and mint tea. It is really nice and peaceful. We love the fact that it is very close to our house as well. The service sometimes is fast and sometimes not but we are not in a hurry.They do breakfast as well that it is not very expensive and at night time they do Moroccan food.

A nice place, great food. It has a nice, warm and cosy feel to it and made me feel quite relaxed. Although it had a nice atmosphere and was cosy, it was a little too dark for me, I couldn't see what I was eating.

What a difference a refurb makes...... It was good before the upgrade and refurbishment but now this place is tremendous! The food here is great! A good selection on offer via the menu and cocktails! The food quality is excellent and inexpensive which is always a winner and the service is pretty good too.Great staff who are friendly and helpful. A good location for drinks and food.

We first visited this well situated restaurant a week earlier and thought it was fine enough to visit ago but how wrong could we be. Management extremely unprofessional and inappropriately loud, food was VERY disappointing, no wine list??? Waited 45 minutes to get post dinner drinks at bar. Music incredibly loud and frankly to cut the story short, we will NEVER Return!!!

It started badly as the booking for the 30th October was cancelled by restaurant without any warning. This establishment has recently been refurbished which was something that was badly needed. The food is still of a good quality and inexpensive. However, the price of the drinks seem to have increased to cover the refurbishment with the "Happy Hour" being altered. If anyone is looking for the entertainment mentioned on their web site then they will be disappointed as there is neither a jazz night nor a belly dancer at the weekend. In all honesty after so many years patronising this establishment I can no longer recommend it to my friends and associates.

Been there before the redecoration and the place now looks even better.he food was amazing. Had octopus for starter and it was soft (not chewy like you would get at other places) and delightful. The main was to die for. I had seabass with vegetables. I highly recommend it to everybody.The coctails are nice but if you want something different the barmen would create anything for you. I gave them challenges (1: orange, chilly and chocolate, 2: peanut butter) and both creations were brilliant (to be honest they should put them on their coctail menu). The staff are friendly and welcoming. I will be going back :)

A Booking was made for me from open table although the restaurant had been closed for refurbishment. This was a huge error which caused me much inconvenience and embarassment as i had booked for a party of four that included a potential client, i will not consider using open table again as they are obviously advertising establishments that they know nothing about.

People at Del'Aziz! You might remember that you've got a restautrant/cafe in Bermondsey. If you close it why not telling your customers? I called you three times on the phone number for Bermondsey regarding a booking, first time I booked, then I realised I told you a wrong date and then it happened that we were available (and hungry) an hour earlier I called you on the day (today, my birthday!) to ask if we could pop in an hour earlier and got the confirmation that is was fine for you. Arriving there we (6 people!) found a stripped out (and closed) restaurant. I called you and got told that the phone is redirected to FULHAM and that people answering the phone always say 'Fulham, hello, how can I help'. Except that this happens so quickly that you don't realise (and don't expect) that you talk to somebody in Fulham if you call a number in Bermondsey. At least update your website! I used to visit your restaurant quite regularly for the amazing cakes, that won't happen anymore. There are other venues that actually do a good service on their customers. Sorry, this review couldn't get any better, I've been fuming this afternoon!

I have been there twice and could rate the food to be of average quality, but the bakery items / desserts are good. The items that I suggest would be Gnocchi, Lamb koobideh and cheese cakes.

You will probably wonder into this delightful restaurant because the Bermondsey do not have one of it's own, that was our reason. However you will return because it is great. They have the facility to serve dinner outside if the weather is good or inside but be sure it will be a fun trip. The plae was packed when we went and the design is such that you do not feel part of a crush. Food is great, convesations are lively and the wine list is ver reasonable.

I've been many times as I live locally. Service at DA can be a bit hit and miss - sometimes it can be hard to catch someone's eye especially if you are sitting in the back bar as it's quite a large property with an unusual layout. However, if you have Raquel as your server, you're in luck as she's generally very friendly, intuitive and watching to see if you need anything. The burgers are great, that's what I go back for, and the portion of chips is generous. The tagines I wasn't very taken with despite the fact that the theme is Moroccan but the salads are great and hearty and the cocktails are well worth a visit. Last time I was there at night I was pregnant and couldn't partake but there was a great kiwi-based one (called Temptations I think) which is on my list to try - my sister said it was amazing! The barman who was there that night had created a lot of the cocktails on the menu himself and he clearly knows his stuff. It's also very baby-friendly in the daytime, there are constantly prams and groups of new mothers having coffee and swapping experiences. It's nice to know there is somewhere you can go and have coffee or lunch and not worry that you're unwelcome because you have a bulky pram and a baby and take a while to get organised and will probably leave a bit of a mess. The staff have seen it all and are kind and patient. I have only ever experienced one rather grumpy manager who was overtly hostile but I think he's gone now; I gave it a miss for a few months and now it seems to be very child-friendly once again.

Food was ok to good on both occasions. Service was not great the first time and Ok the second time round. I think its more to do with the fact that staff being unfriendly and not smiling rather than anything else. Location is nice and the restaurant has a nice vibe.

I went here with two other friends and we were all disappointed by our dishes. Food was bland, I had the chicken tagine and it was watery and lacked flavour. Service was also not great. I won't be going back.

We visited on a bank hol sunday, but it was still pretty busy and a good atmosphere. Love the welcoming decor, unexpected in a new building. I had chicken tagine, my friend had persian chicken shish. Both scrumptious. It's not a puddingey place , but the cakes from their deli are good. Wee bit pricey, but tasty. We've been a few times now and the quality of the food is consistently good. Happy to recommend. Be prepared to pay £40 each for 2 courses and a bottle of wine. If you eat before 8 pm drinks are half price, but not sure if that's every night.

Extremely pleasant place to sit outside and watch life go by in trendy Bermondsey Square and see the stalls on market days or view the adjacent Vitrine Gallery window to see the new trends in the Art World. Great place to let children run around in the Square whilst you eat. It has an attractive interior and you can sit on the street on the opposite side of the restaurant.East Mediterranean food. The food is good. The mezze was great. The Pitta was good. We have previously had a very bad meal here (both ill that night) when they were going through staff problems (we heard that the chef was deported) and also a very good meal when it first opened, so be warned on consistency. The turkish coffee is very good and the wine well chosen and reasonably priced (great Nero d'Avalo)The big problem is service. The waitress was very nice but was completely lost and did not know what to do. Brought water without glasses. Said at first we could not have a meal as they had not printed out a menu!!!. Disappeared for long periods. Food and drinks took ages. We were in a slow relaxed mood on a sunny day so it did not affect us too much. She and her male colleague were so nice, helpful and friendly we could not complain but wonder why Del'Aziz management do not feel it necessary to establish clear management service procedures and to train their staff. This is a management not a staff problem.

Have eaten here many times as other half has a flat near by. Never been disappointed in food, sometimes when very busy service could do with being better but I'd still return back again.

Had a nice dinner with family. Everyone enjoyed the food and place has a great atmosphere.

It's rare to find good customer service in London, but we found it in here. Small things like plenty of tap water for the table (with lots of mint and cucumber in it!). The chips were tasty but pricey (£4). The burger was reasonable. Would like to have tried something less obvious from the menu if I go next time.

Since we arrived at 8pm, a friend and I, the waiter looked at us and said "we don't do shisha's anymore, short of staff". He didn't even waited for us to take a sit and order something. He has been really rude and unrespectful at first sight with us. I've been really desappointed so I left for an other morrocan restaurant in London. I've been adviced for this restaurant, for food, shisha and atmosphere... When I told some friends about the anecdote, I've been told that the manager changed.What was really funny : shisha time end at 10pm normally, and when we left, 2 ladies who arrived after us have been served a shisha...I will never go back there, and I will never advice this place to a friend !

Found this place after walking down Bermondsey St. Sat outside on lovely sunny day. Welcoming staff and nice food. Will definitely be back!

This place is a regular haunt of mine , I Luv the "happy hour" two for one from 5 to 8 extended to 10pm if you have a loyalty card , my favourite is Mojitos! Well worth a visit!

This was the first time we had used a Tastecard and were not expecting it to be amazing when we booked. My husband, 2 children and I were promptly shown to our table and given menus, with the terms of the Tastecard reiterated as per the website (BOGOF for 2 diners on starters and mains). The children both chose a juice to drink and in both cases they were freshly squeezed, they both enjoyed their generous portions of food from the children's menu. My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed our starters also. I had the Lamb Tagine and my husband the Rib Eye steak, both were cooked to perfection and the lamb was very tender, although the sauce was quite oily. The service was very attentive with the children made to feel very welcome by all the staff. We all opted to have pudding and the waiter suggested that the children share a cake (due to the size of the portion) this was suggested quietly and half a slice put a plate and served individually (they still don't know they shared pudding!). The waiter was quite right - the portions were huge. All in all a very enjoyable evening and using the Tastecard, offered good value for money. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or return.

I visited Del'aziz on 27/07/2015 as a group of 6, for a friends leaving dinner. I chose this restaurant as it had good reviews and I was able to use my tastecard. I booked a table for 6 via telephone the night before and when I asked about the tastecard I was told it can only be used on a table for 2. Nevertheless, I proceeded with my booking and decided to check the small print on the website.Upon arrival we were greeted pleasantly and taken to our reserved table. I told the waiter (tall, thin, Italian gentleman with blonde hair) in advance that we had one tastecard and that the website had not specified it was subject to 2 diners only. He said that was fine and I had been given the wrong information. We arrived 15 minutes before the happy hour was due to finish, so we ordered three bottles of wine and four cocktails. We ordered 2 starters, 6 mains and a dessert between us. When we had finished dining we asked for the bill and the waiter had not applied the discount for the tastecard. When I informed him of the error, he stated loudly and abruptly that our tastecard "does not work with happy hour". I informed him that the website does not specify this nor did he tell me in advance. He then snatched the bill out of my hand and rectified it. When he came back he did not apologise and slammed the bill on the table. My friend checked it had he had taken £2 off the bill and not the correct amount. When we pointed this out he stormed off again and brought it back.He did not apologise and made us feel very uncomfortable for dining with a tastecard. He expressed that the information on the website needs to be updated but "it wasn't his fault".I ended up paying my part of the bill and standing outside of the restaurant to wait for my friends as the waiter was so disrespectful and ruined the evening. It is unfortunate I did not get the waiters name as I believe his behaviour needs to be addressed as I felt completely ashamed and embarrassed. I dine regularly in London and I have never experienced such disrespect, lack of responsibility and complete disregard of custom in a restaurant.I would not usually write a review, but this branch of Del Aziz falsely advertised there offer with tastecard, behaved in the most unprofessional manner and provided the worst customer experience ever.

Serving staff excellent -We were a group of 10 with three special dietary requirements, so not easy but food came mostly together and everyone enjoyed the food immensely. We have been more than once before but menu changes so never feels 'samey' Great evening. Thank you

Love this place, fantastic food and the cocktails are out of this world! the bar manager Shaka is an absolute asset to the place, his passion for mixology and his knowledge of cocktails is second to none- Always so friendly and accommodating to requests (he can make about 35000 cocktails..) would highly recommend to anyone looking to try something new and exciting!

We popped in for a couple of drinks and a nibble on a Wednesday night - 5 minutes before Happy Hour ended!! We were seated immediately in the fantastic Morrocan style lounge and our drinks order was taken; honouring the Happy Hour offer of 2-4-1! We ordered a Vegetarian Mezze which was perfect. The cocktails were divine and the barman, Tschaka, was a true mixologist! His smile, service and passion really made our evening and we will be back again soon!

Good food. Pleasant staff. Popped on for a quick lunch as was staying locally on business. Did the job. Very pleased would recommend.

Visited this morning for breakfast but found I was ahead of their official breakfast time... Chef starts at 8am. Welcomed with a coffee and served shortly after. Food delicious and ordered a smoothie also. Everything arrived in good time but the staff clearly hold themselves to a higher standard and in apology provided a takeaway smoothie and the chunkiest / tastiest cookie to enjoy on my day. I would have had a great breakfast before, but these unexpected gestures made this a memorable visit and I would definitely recommend to anyone passing through. Best customer service and best staff I have ever encountered in the UK

I love the atmosphere here! The food is great, a mix of Moroccan and Turkish. I love their £5 breakfast deal at the moment. Try the pancakes with vanilla cream and crispy bacon on the side (must be crispy) with maple syrup! Hmmmm......

This is a great restaurant, with a great menu and friendly staff. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the restaurant has a lovely interior. It is also good value, for a restaurant in zone 1.

My friend insisted we come here for cake and tea, to finish what had been a great night out until this point. We had two cakes - a New York cheesecake which was dry, tasted mostly of flour and with barely any cheese (how is this possible?! It was meant to be a cheesecake - instead it was, well, not a cheesecake). We also had a poor quality chocolate and pear tart. Also ordinary. We made these choices as these two appeared to be 'the best' of the sad looking offerings in the patisserie section. 2 cakes and 2 tea cost us £20 - I asked to split the bill, they put it all on mine. Fan-bloody-tastic.Lousy cakes and lousy service. I will never return.
